I usually just toy with the until I know how they work. Of course, I'll skim through the manual first. powerofone;

i gradually self-teach myself.
manuals r for faggots

i just know how to use them.

also macs just work

I just mess around with them.

I know everything. spam;

With machines such as computers I just play around with them.

For things like games I'll read the manual though

I just mess around with it.

Especially for easy to use programs on the computer like Microsoft Office, GIMP, Paintdotnet, Windows XP, GlovePIE, etc., it's way better to mess around with it for a bit than to read a 500 page book on the program goonish

I can honestly say that I've never once read the manual for a game system. As far back as when I was 5, I never needed a stupid book to tell me to put the yellow connector in the yellow plug, white in white, and red in red. pseudo;

The only time I've looked at the manual for my computer was to see what specific parts it has before upgrading.

If I've never anything similar to it before, I'll just skim through the manual, but I like playing with stuff and finding out about it myself.

I never even open the manual unless I'm utterly clueless. Which doesn't happen often.

Mess around with them. Except my calculator, because I have no fucking clue how that works or where most things are, so I ask teachers.

Instruction manuals are for losers.

My Trig teacher just taught everyone in the class how to use graphing calculators from the start.

I play around with them until I figure it all out.

I should file a lawsuit against A&B sound.
Macs are made for retards so they could start using computers.

pshhh instruction manuals are for pussies

Which would be why most uneducated consumers buy PCs because they don't even know what Macs are.

fuck the manual, just press all the buttons until it works

So Mac attempts to make itself look better by pulling some NDP style mudslinging.

I'll still eventually read the instruction manual for the sake of watching the pretty pictures. baby;

For instance, where is i located on most TI graphing calculators? Does it even have i anywhere?  befuddlement

Second function: decimal point, which is next to 0.

I swiped a 300 dollar calculator before, myself.

I can't figure it out, and the manual doesn't even make sense.

Jesus, how have I never noticed that? It's been a year since I've needed that button, I've just been putting in square root(-819) or whatever to get it to output a number in terms of i until now.

Lol, everyone in my school is pretty calculator-dependent so you learn your way around one pretty quickly.

I remember last year when I discovered the matrix functions, it saved my ass on multiple tests... multiplying out huge matrices and shit.

Instruction manual if it's something like a DVD player but otherwise everything I toy with
